The aim of this study is to define the design criteria for urban convention
hotels based on national and international market trends. The second aim is to design
an efficient, flexible, and valid convention hotel program for Ankara case based on
this research. The existing hotel structures in Ankara are assumed to be insufficient
to meet the convention requirements of international and national market needs.
In the study, the space requirements of different markets and their program
matrix reflected on major convention hotels in different continents are analyzed. The
basic design criteria in terms of architectural space requirements and functional
needs of the venues are defined. The economical, social and cultural impacts of the
convention hotels in urban scale are listed in order to define a sustainable and
efficient program in city scale.
A feasibility study is done based on the space requirements, user groups and
use frequencies of the convention venues in capital city. The second assumption of
this study was that Ankara needed a 500 room convention hotel in order to
accommodate the existing and future tourism stock of the city. A program based on
the requirements of prior research is prepared and a design proposal is given for a
site located in Ankara.
